Flying High

Despite temperatures in the 50s, colorful and funky kites flew high on January 13 and 14 on Treasure Island Beach. Kite enthusiasts and professionals gathered behind the Thunderbird Beach Resort on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to participate in kite races, flying lessons, kid’s activities and more.
